The initiative involves police officers staying in villages, directly interacting with residents, and resolving local issues while building trust.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Officials said the move reflects the Bhagwant Mann Government\u2019s strategy of combining strict enforcement with public involvement to tackle drug abuse at its roots. In Police District Khanna, officers, along with local administration teams, are conducting regular village visits, increasing their presence, and encouraging citizens to become active partners in the anti-drug campaign.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The outreach is yielding tangible results, with villagers voluntarily sharing information about drug peddlers and anti-social elements. Residents are also reporting suspicious activities and supporting police efforts to dismantle local drug networks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As part of the initiative, Sanjhi Sathh meetings are being organized in villages to promote open dialogue. A recent meeting in village Kaudi saw active participation from residents, who openly discussed issues and provided inputs on tackling drug-related challenges.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The initiative is also fostering a reform-oriented approach. Communities are not only identifying offenders but are also suggesting ways to rehabilitate individuals willing to change. In several cases, villagers have taken responsibility for such individuals, assuring authorities of their improved conduct and seeking a second chance for them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Alongside community engagement, enforcement remains strong. Under Operations Prahar-1 and Prahar-2, launched as part of the Mann Government\u2019s intensified crackdown, Khanna Police have achieved major successes. These include busting fake passport rackets, dismantling drug networks, and seizing significant quantities of narcotics, including heroin and methamphetamine (\u201cice\u201d).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Khanna, Dr. Darpan Ahluwalia, said that the revived rural outreach initiative is proving highly effective. \u201cWith continuous support and clear directives from the Mann Government, we have been able to significantly control drug activity. There is now a strong fear of the police among peddlers, and public cooperation has increased manifold,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She added that the campaign will continue with sustained focus on both strict action and community participation, in line with the Mann Government\u2019s vision of a drug-free Punjab.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>KHANNA, (Justice News) Giving fresh momentum to Punjab\u2019s \u2018Yudh Nashean Virudh\u2019, the revival of the traditional Dehati Daura (rural outreach visits) in Khanna is delivering <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/?p=26888\" title=\"Dehati Daura revival delivers results, villagers step forward as key partners in \u2018Yudh Nashean Virudh\u2019 in Khanna\"><span>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-punjab"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG-20260430-WA0050.jpg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pe1HXo-6ZG","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26888"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26890,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26888\/revisions\/26890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justicenews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
